July 23, 2009 Biology professors win coveted Murdock grants Turning over barnacle-encrusted rocks, one by one, craning your neck to catch a glimpse of a bird or sloshing through a muddy tributary might not seem like hard core scientific endeavors. But think again. It’s research such as this that gleaned three assistant professors of biology – Michael Behrens, Julie Smith and Jacob Egge – grants totaling more than $120,000. The support, provided by the Vancouver, Wash. based M.J. Murdock

types differ and play a role in reproductively isolating the types of crossbills from each other. The birds give a real-time insight into how species may develop, literally on the fly, as they exploit niches, food sources and only breed with the types of the same call, Smith said. The process, called speciation, is one of the most important questions posed in the field of evolutionary biology, yet, it’s not completely understood by biologists, Smith said Also flitting around the canopy about 100

January 14, 2011 New biology lab an interactive plus for students By Barbara Clements The lab tucked in the north side of the Rieke Science Center is all about drywall, dust and stacks of cabinets right now. But come spring semester, the new Louis and Lydia Sheffels Biology Laboratory, otherwise known as Room #136, will open up to new work stations and new equipment.

what you can build from it, or what patterns you can find and connections you can make. When did you decide on environmental studies? My Writing 101 course was “Evolutionary Biology and Taxonomy.” The purpose of the class was to learn scientific technical writing, but I was surprised at how arbitrary taxonomy is. That got me interested in animal studies and a critical lens of the sciences, which is why I added environmental studies. The first thing I noticed on the bus from the airport [in Oxford

TECBio REU at University of Pittsburgh Posted by: nicolacs / December 11, 2019 December 11, 2019 Summer Research in Computational Biology at the University of Pittsburgh Students will receive classroom training in topics pertinent to the emerging field of computational biology, such as computational structural biology, cell and systems modeling, computational genomics, and bioimage informatics, in addition to a wide variety of theoretical and experimental research projects. Students will

Cognition Center Cologne at the University of Cologne in Spring 2022. Cook’s project, titled “Investigating the influence of fundamental motives on social cognition,” will explore how evolved social goals, or fundamental motives, influence the use of stereotypes and appraisals of social threats. Cook says these motives, such as establishing social ties, gaining status, self-protection, and finding and retaining mates, were essential for human survival throughout evolutionary history and still drive

social threats. Cook says these motives, such as establishing social ties, gaining status, self-protection, and finding and retaining mates, were essential for human survival throughout evolutionary history and still drive social behavior today. For Cook, the award feels like a significant milestone marking the next step in his research career. “The Fulbright is a very prestigious award, and to be a recipient constitutes recognition of leadership and expertise in my field of research,” he said. “As a
